Hope Dunne has carved out a name for herself as a top photographer, known the joys of marriage and motherhood and the heartbreak of loss. In her chic SoHo loft, Hope is content with her life, finding serenity and beauty through the lens of her camera. She isnt looking for a man or excitement. But these things find her when she accepts a last-minute assignment to fly to London at Christmas and photograph one of the worlds most celebrated writers an Irish-American author known for novels of thrilling literary darkness. To Hopes surprise, Finn ONeill exudes warmth and a boyish charm. Enormously successful, he is a perfect counterpoint to Hopes quiet, steady grace and hes taken instantly by her. He courts her as no one ever has before, whisking her away to his palatial, isolated Irish estate.
